Welcome! Doris here. I will be pleased to work with you. My responses are not immediate. I thankyou for your patience. I am reviewing the question.

I do not participate in the phone call services. The ad for a call was auto-generated by the site, not me.I will still continue to work with you in writing an answer you can print out at no extra cost.

Please send a photo of the identification marks, labels and/or words on the item.

You may need to use the macro function (flower icon) of your camera to get a good clear photo of the marks.

If you cannot get a good photo, then sketch the marks and take a photo of the sketch.

To send photos you may use the "ADD FILES" in the blue box link (next to "SEND" or "SUBMIT") on your reply page or the "paper clip" found in the toolbar you see on your reply page.Please do not send in ZIP format. The jpg or jpeg format works best.
